Clarkson Students Go Hard, Even While They're at Play

For Clarkson students, collaboration and competition play off each other, fostering a mix of teamwork and strategy building as you form lifelong bonds.

If you're looking for a competitive outlet and a way to stay active and engaged, join one of our dozens of club and intramural sports. Not as intense or time-consuming as our 20 men's and women's NCAA teams, they're all organized and led by students. And, you'll get more than a workout — intramural and club sports show you how to be part of a team, a skill you'll draw on your entire life.
